I now never correct kids for at least a month. Adults rationalise and understand degrees of difference, while kids starting out just feel any correction means they did it wrong. Plenty of time to guide them later, but first get them in there, enjoying their training, and forming a good habit - trying. Lots of races, lots of games etc breaking up the technical bits to keep them buzzing. Above all, let them know by constant positive feedback that you're on their side, not standing aloof with an "I'm it, worship me" attitude.


I love the concept of not correcting beginners for a while....
Great Idea
